Why can't I travel to this system or most of the systems in this belt of stars? I've been there before and it doesn't say permit locked

Just got back into ED after a 4 year break. I loved exploring and doing that now with a Diamondback. Do you all just pick a random direction in the black and just explore or do you have another way?

Hope Ill find a closer planet one day.

Everyone talks about the bubble. Question 1 How big is the bubble?

Question 2 Is the centre of the bubble sol?

Question 3 Has all the bubble been explored?

Apologies in advance if I'm not using the correct terminology.

I'm wondering if we have identified and visited all of the reachable systems which are furthest away from Sag A* on each 3D axis. According to the fandom wiki, Systeia Aub BA-A g12 is the highest normal reachable system above the galactic plane, and Syrumbi YE-A g4 is the lowest below the galactic plane. So that takes care of the Z-axis. What about the X and Y axis?

So I've been out in the black for a very long time.. I've got my carrier parked at a tritium triple hotspot on the far side of the galaxy with all of my ships and never intended to return to the bubble.. but the potential of the upcoming mandalay is too great so I started on my 41KLY journey today with the intention of not stopping to scan everything, or not quite everything but then about 6KLY into the journey, disaster struck, i found a system with 25 biological signals.. I want to ignore it, but I cannot! .. i never should have scanned.....

I was planning an excursion into the black but decided to wait and try out the Mandalay. Who else is planning on starting a trip next week?

Does anyone even stop for these anymore? I know it’s 5 mil just sitting there, but at this point I just can’t be bothered.

Should I save my exo data for the update? I saw that there are bonuses to the exobiology and regular exploration data for some of the powers.

Do you have to level them up to get the bonuses? I never really did power play before and I think I will start getting into it when the update hits

Thank you!

Hello,

I last plated before the odyssey update. Which I have.

I am over by Sag A and the thought of jumping all the way back to Colonia and then the bubble just makes me go meeh.

Has odyssey improved systems etc, it was getting a bit same same before.

Any tips for the journey back lol

First time playing anything in 4k, just a simple ELW orbiting its star

For exploration outside & further from populated areas what would you recommend as the avarage jump range?

Want to spend most of my time exploring. My biggest interest is finding something nobody has seen yet just because of how many systems there are there could still be something nobody has seen yet. Well anyway, here’s what I plan to use for my expedition

Hi yall, I'm pretty new to both exploration and elite generally, and some advice would be really appreciated

I'm looking for volcanic features on a planet I discovered. I'm in a teal area on the heatmap, and have explored from the ground and by skimming, and have found only the biological feature of this planet. does anyone have any tips? should i look inside/around big craters or something?

nvm finally found some in the middle of nowhere
